A Grammar of the Rong (Lepcha) Language, as It Exists in the Dorjeling and Sikim Hills (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Unlock a detailed look at an early Lepcha grammar and its foundational alphabet This work presents a practical, learner‑friendly approach to the Rong language, focusing on the alphabet, sounds, and the building blocks of Lepcha speech. Ideal for students of historical linguistics or readers curious about 19th‑century language documentation, this edition frames how a language is structured and taught.
The book outlines the two main parts of the Rong (Lepcha) script—consonants and diacritical marks—along with the eight vowels and the nine final signs. It also explains affixes like Kya and Ran, and describes a syllabic scheme that underpins Lepcha words. The text emphasizes practical use, aiming to assist learners rather than challenge scholarly critique, with the goal of facilitating language learning and cultural understanding.
